It rolls in
heavy, wet, soothing.
At first not even noticed
for what it is
yet fully embraced
by one such as I.
Gladly I melt into it
so soothed by it's darkness.
I rest within its
warming mist
at peace, one, serene.
At rest from a busied life
eager to just let go
With outstretched hands
I beckon to its cover.
Held tight by each wisp of air
once so attractive
now strangles out each cry
that no one hears...
Swept into the
darkest
hopeless
mist.
~Just breathe
Author notes
I'm not usually a 'depressed' person but lately I find myself in a huge battle with it... I would not be 'labeled' chronically depressed, depressed, chemically depressed but I guess everyone, now and then, becomes depressed...
Guess that's where I am.
How does it make you FEEL?

It can be easy to say it's been too long Melissa, but, yeh, I still pop by now and then to check in. Your smile and words are always a welcome surprise.
I,ve walked a few darkened corriders in my time, and can relate, but the sun will shine agian. I hope it shines for you real soon.
Always here if you fancy a chat.
regards
Mike.

I don't want you to be there....I want you to come out in the light and sing happy songs with me...but I find myself soothed by the darkness too. I miss you!

Sorry to hear you are feeling blue, was wondering where you been, Life sometimes has away with throwing us curves, we hit the darkness pull the covers up and
settle within it for awhile, Don't think there is anyone that has not been in this place.
I will pray it is a passing darkness,
Blessings your way.
Love and Light

All my love to you and Anna I hope you both are well. Hugz to both of you!
Your friend always and forever,
Frogz~

I've been down this path a time or two and recognize the scenery. Sorry to hear you're feeling this way. On the plus side, it's great to see you posting again!
This piece is very well written. Hope the sun breaks through the mist soon.

It's still 'all good'... I'm certainly not hopeless for even when I feel most alone, I know I'm not. The sun will shine soon I am sure!
Thanks Rory for reading... most of all though, thanks for commenting.
I hope to be writing AND reading/commenting again real soon!

Hey Karen!
Guess everyone suffers at one time or other with depression... it's just my time I suppose. It came in so slowly that I didn't even realize I was simply depressed!
Thanks for reading but most of all for letting me know you can relate... lets me know I'm not alone!
Much love to you sweet sister of mine..
~Melissa
